Excess skin in African Americans?!
Thanks for the advice. I definitely thought that my skin would bounce back since I'm only 32, but boy was I wrong. It's not horrible or noticeable in clothing, but my goal is to look good naked.

When can you drink
I was told that I could never have carbonated drinks again. I'm happy, because I used to drink about a 6 pack of soda on a daily basis.

Excess skin in African Americans?!
I was sleeved on June 18, 2013 at 365 pounds. This morning I weighed in at 275. I walk for an hour about 5 times a week and I also do a high impact cardio workout daily. I was told that AA's skin bounce back quickly, but after losing 90 pounds, I'm certain that I am going to need plastics. Other factors such as age, genetics and health also play a huge part in the skin's ability to bounce back. I plan on getting a personal trainer to guide me as far as weight training, but my doc told me that after your skin has been stretched out so far, it's nearly impossible to get it back to its original state.
